The Girl Next Door Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching haters wonder why
Gambino got the game locked (Yeah?)
Half-Thai thickie, all she wanna do is Bangkok (Yeah?)
Got her hair done, French braids, now she A$AP
Bino so insensitive, she askin' "Why you say that?"
I'm chillin' (Yeah), real nigga feelin'
Rich kid, asshole paint me as a villain (Ma!)
Still spitting that cash flow, DJ Khaled
I got a penthouse on both coasts, pH balance
Real nigga, I rep those
Why though? 'Cause I said so
Hip deep in that Pepto, I got five on her like Ben Folds
I got more tail than that PetCo (What)
You faker than some Sweet'N Low (Why?)
Yeah, you got some silverware
But really are you eating though? (Yeah)
Are you eating though?
Nigga, are you eating though?
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner's for beginners, you ain't even know




Never catching cases, why they faces look so E-M-O?
Watching haters hate me more, they play me like a piano

Overall Meaning

The Girl Next Door's song ON TOP starts with the lyrics, "Watching haters wonder why, Gambino got the game locked." The singer is probably referring to Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, a rapper and actor who has become a prominent figure in pop culture. The next line, "Half-Thai thickie, all she wanna do is Bangkok," suggests that the girl in question is of Thai descent and is probably interested in partying in Bangkok, which is known for its nightlife. The lyrics continue, "Got her hair done, French braids, now she A$AP," implying that the girl has styled her hair like A$AP Rocky, a rapper known for his distinctive braids.


The line "Bino so insensitive, she askin' 'why you say that?'" reveals that the girl has called out Gambino for saying something insensitive. The next line, "I'm chillin', real nigga feelin'," suggests that Gambino is unbothered by the criticism and is just hanging out and enjoying life. The lyrics "Rich kid, asshole, paint me as a villain" suggests that Gambino is aware that some people perceive him as a privileged jerk. The line "Still spitting that cash flow, DJ Khaled" implies that Gambino is still making money as a rapper and is probably in the same league as DJ Khaled, a famous record producer.


The chorus of the song, "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner's for beginners, you ain't even know," suggests that the singer is living a luxurious life and only eats when it's absolutely necessary. The line "Never catching cases, why they faces look so E-M-O?" implies that the singer is not getting into legal trouble like some of his/her haters but is still perplexed by why they always appear so emotional. The last line, "Watching haters hate me more, they play me like a piano," suggests that the singer is aware of the hate coming their way but is unbothered by it and even enjoys the attention.
